Default Re: Bow/Keel Repair

That's pretty minor there. Just grind back about 3 inches on either side, not very deep. Smooth out the damaged area, but try not to cut deep. It doesn't need to be very smooth, just so you don't get air pockets under your cloth. I would put one layer of matt that covers the entire area and then 2-3 layers in just the center to build back the point of the bow. Grind/sand everything smooth and fill with some fairing compound. West Systems will work well for this job, you may want to use a little thickener to hold everything in place as it cures.
